Solving the Problem of Joint Pain

Joint replacement surgery is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic surgeries in the world today. Due to the high volume of local residents requiring this procedure, Verde Valley Medical Center launched its Joint Replacement Program in 2002.

Since 2002, VVMC's program has gained state and national recognition for its high success rate, including shorter hospital stays, increased rates of recovery and improvised range of motion.

The program focuses on pre-operative education, state of the art surgical techniques, skilled nursing care, focused pain management strategies and advanced physical therapy. Physical therapists with VVMC’s EntireCare Sports Medicine and Rehab focus on restoring independence and a return to normal activities as soon as possible.

The next joint replacement seminar will be held on Saturday, Aug. 21, at 10 a.m. at the Lodge at Cliff Castle, 555 W. Middle Verde Road, Camp Verde. The seminar will include a discussion of symptoms, patient expectations after surgery, a question and answer period and light refreshments.

For more information, or to register for the seminar, please call VVMC Customer Relations at 639-6551. Walk-ins also are welcome.
